South Sudan
In My Own Eyes

Independent research and evidence for a better-informed understanding of South Sudan.

South Sudan In My Own Eyes (SSIMOE) is an independent, non-partisan research digital platform focused on understanding the economic, policy and institutional realities shaping South Sudan.

We produce evidence-based research for citizens, policymakers, researchers, journalists and institutions seeking reliable information about the issues that affect everyday life and the development of the country.

Sunrise over South Sudan

Research with the public in mind.

SSIMOE tracks the cost of living, monitors government expenditure on Education, Agriculture, Infrastructure, and Healthcare, documents the policies shaping South Sudan, and provides analytical views on emerging policy issues.

Our work is intended to make important information accessible and useful — whether it is being used by a citizen trying to understand rising prices, a journalist researching a public issue, a policymaker examining evidence, or a researcher studying South Sudan.

Independent.
Evidence-based.

We believe that understanding South Sudan requires more than headlines and opinions. It requires evidence that can be examined, questioned and understood.

SSIMOE therefore focuses on collecting and analysing information, documenting public records and presenting research in ways that allow people to see the evidence behind the issues shaping their lives.

South Sudan In My Own Eyes

SSIMOE

We’re on a mission to make South Sudan’s economy and government spending visible to the people it affects most – empowering citizens to engage with policy in a real, measurable way. Through data, tracking, and analysis – from the cost of living to how government spends on education, agriculture, infrastructure, and healthcare – we turn complex issues into clear answers, so together we can drive data-informed decisions that reflect the needs of the common man
